Softcover. Condition: As New. Beige/maroon illus. card wraps with turquoise lettering. White lettering on turquoise spine. 240 pp. with 80 color and bw figures. Where do we come from? What are we? Where are we going? Few expressions in the culture of human thought have the iconic stature, and emotive power, that the word "evolution" entails. Though commonly relegated to modern-day science, the concept of evolution is ingrained in representations of life and nature in the visual arts, and artists and scientists have much to share on the meaning of human origin, human existence and human fate. The present volume documents an online symposium, Visual Culture and Evolution, in which a distinguished panel of artists, curators, scientists, historians, educators, media theorists and critics participated in a lively, informative conversation on the interface of art and science.

Buch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - Contributors investigate the motivation behind scientifically-embedded contemporary art practices as well as art-based scientific research and engagement that attempt to shape society. This edited volume reflects the rapidly developing practices comprising integrative and collaborative work across different knowledge domains (including art and science), the benefit of those processes to the individual, to knowledge production (and its complexity) and ultimately the benefits to society (why it is worth doing). The book will provide an overview of the factors in which the exhibition and performance of scientifically-engaged art inside and outside of traditional museum spaces has instigated cultural and aesthetic transformations and social interactions while presenting a variety of opportunities for educators, scientists, artists and the interested public to critically expand its engagement. The book is intended for scholars interested in collaborative and/or integrative work who study research, methodology, art history, science, and museum studies.…

Paperback. Condition: New. Visual artist and theorist Suzanne Anker opened the 2007 international online conference Bioscience and Visual Culture with the following words: "The ubiquitous employment of digital technologies within the practices of research science and medicine, architecture and design, filmmaking and video production, as well as the visual and performing arts, has set ajar a multiplex of communication networks which crisscross traditional boundaries."
